  3. I am having trouble compiling under the Chemkin API under Linux. When executing the mak file, I get the error: ifort: error #10236: File not found: ‘../../../lib/ckptm.a’ The file is supposed to be in “~ansys_inc/v184/reaction/chemkinpro.linuxx8664/include/chemkin_make_unix.inx”. But it appears to be missing. Is this a defect? If yes, is there a workaround?

      This is a defect that affected the V 18.2 installation for both Windows and Linux. The library “ckptm.a” was missing from the v18.2 installation( but is included in v19.0 and beyond). If the simulations do not require the PTM module, this library is not required, so the issue can be bypassed with a small modification to the mak file. If you open the file ~/ansys_inc/v182/reaction/chemkinpro.linuxx8664/include/chemkin_make_unix.inc and edit the line CKPTM_LIBRARY = $(CHEMKINLIB)ckptm$(LIBEXT) to CKPTM_LIBRARY = This will remove the reference to ckptm.a and will avoid the issue.
